[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1065295, member: 307"] "How much differance would putting low rings on the guns thatwiill take them" Pa, I think it is subjective and up to the individual. For me; the diameter of the objective lens and comfort (to some extent) dictates my choice. I had my 2nd/3rd vertebrae fused several years ago, so I don't particularly like "stretching" my neck to look through my scope. When setting up a new rifle or scope, I sometimes start out with medium rings. If I have, what I think/feel is too much elevation, I will measure the distance between the barrel and obj. lens. I then look up the heighth of low rings and med rings and note the difference. If this difference is smaller than the original number (barrel to obj. lens), then the low's will work. I like 'em low. It's comfortable for me. Kinda like snuggling up with my wife at night. Nothing but good comes from either scenario's. If I'm comfortable behind the scope then I shoot much better. Hope this helps.
